ABOUT Live a Fuller Life with Improved Mental Health

  • BIO
  • EXPERIENCE AND CREDENTIALS

I am a former Big Law attorney who is now a therapist, and I focus on working with lawyers and professionals who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and burned out.  As someone who has lived the life, I know firsthand how the pressure, expectations, and culture can shape how you think and feel.

I create a non-anxious, non-judgmental space of care and trust where you can discover, understand, and change the patterns that have been keeping you from living the more fulfilling life you desire.  

If you’re interested in growing beyond what’s been limiting you, schedule a consultation with me to take a step toward a new journey toward a fuller life.

Four and a half years of experience as an attorney in the areas of products liability, medical malpractice, commercial litigation, and insurance defense.
  • Board Certified Psychotherapist in North Carolina since 2017, Certified Fee-Based Practicing Pastoral Counselor.
  • Ordained in the United Methodist Church since 2019, Associate Pastor of Wilson Temple UMC.
  • Certified Enneagram Professional, Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy, since 2024.
The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown…. This ‘outgrowing’, as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person’s horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency. --C. G. Jung

TESTIMONIALSIn Their Own Words

Dr. James has inspired me to look at my life through different perspectives. He seeks to understand me and desires to empower me toward charting the course of my life. I no longer feel stuck and instead feel more capable to impact my personal and professional relationships. I am growing to be more content and grateful.
